Magazines in the colonial era became the clarions of revolutionary thought, and the first printed statement of American independence appeared in Thomas Paine’s Pennsylvania Magazine in June 1776. At the outset of the nineteenth century, magazines documented the origins of the political schism between Federalism and states’ rights that remains a subject of bitter debate to this day.
